Roses & Raspberries

Beautiful roses to Battle Creek Hearing Services for quickly repairing my hearing aid. Early one Friday morning, one of my hearing aids ending up in two parts, the earpiece and the receiver. I hurried to their office and within 15 minutes, they succeeded in putting it back together. I was able to enjoy my whole weekend. Everyone in the office is very friendly, helpful and feels like a very good friend. — Barbara McKale, Battle Creek

Polite, friendly and helpful permeates the entire business; every time, without fail, I’m greeted by name with a smile! Thanks so much! — Jim Huysentruyt, Battle Creek

Recently, our family experienced a very traumatic medical event. The 911 dispatch individual was very professional, caring and yet down to the business of what we needed to do until responders arrived. There was apparently an EMS responder training going on, so we had responders from several jurisdictions. We just want to say how much we appreciate your efforts and thank you for such a positive outcome. I wish I knew all your names to personally thank you. To Jacob Washburn, you have helped our family in so many ways with your many hats, but your personal and caring touch did so much to help us through this stressful event. Roses to all of you from our family! — Becky and Doug Rocho, Marshall

Raspberries:

Raspberries to the careless driver of a navy blue car who was responsible for cutting off a car south of Dickman road on the Penetrator, Thursday evening about 7 p.m. You caused an accident that involved three young adults. All three were taken to the hospital by ambulance after hitting the cement wall, thanks to your carelessness. Unfortunately you never bothered to stop. No thanks to you, all of them were released with no serious injuries. — Janice Masters, Battle Creek
